Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter Side Quests: Walkthrough

Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter side quests are divided into two practical categories: required quests that support Chapter 2’s main investigation and optional quests that improve your Bracer Guild progress. The safest approach is to check the guild board whenever the story opens a new travel segment, then clear nearby requests before advancing the plot.

Chapter 2, commonly identified as “The Raging Land,” focuses on disturbances affecting Liberl’s roads and settlements. The quest structure encourages regional exploration rather than a single linear checklist. Some requests are investigation-oriented, while others are combat assignments or short town errands.

The known Chapter 2 roster is organized below. Quest names can vary slightly between localizations, so use the objective and location alongside the title when checking your journal.

The two required missions form the backbone of the chapter’s investigation. Earthquake Investigation establishes the immediate problem, while Investigate the Epicenter pushes the party toward the source of the disturbance. Treat these quests as story-critical rather than optional errands.

Do not rush through the required objectives without checking nearby requests first. The chapter’s optional missions are easiest to manage when grouped by region, and completing them before the investigation’s final stages reduces unnecessary backtracking.

The required quest pair should take priority over optional errands if the story begins warning you about an imminent transition. If the game displays a point-of-no-return warning, finish all nearby requests first and make a manual save.

The optional list mixes short civilian tasks with battle assignments. A useful way to organize them is to separate town errands from regional hunts. Errands usually require conversations, item checks, or a brief investigation. Monster requests require party preparation and are best completed while traveling through the relevant road or tunnel.

The four monster requests are particularly easy to combine with normal exploration. Avoid making a separate trip for each one when the route naturally passes through the assigned area.

A balanced party is more valuable than a specialized setup for these requests. Bring at least one reliable healing option, one character who can exploit enemy weaknesses, and enough EP-restoring items for longer routes. Save before optional boss-style encounters, especially when the request description implies an unusually strong monster.

A clean route reduces repeated travel and protects your progress against missed requests. Start by gathering every available task in the current settlement. Then complete short errands, move through the nearest road, and finish any tunnel or plains hunt that lies along the same path.

Use the following route as a planning framework rather than a rigid order. The game’s exact availability can depend on story progress, so always follow the current guild board and journal.

For combat preparation, prioritize survivability over speed. Monster requests are optional, so there is little benefit in attempting them while under-equipped. Upgrade weapons when possible, keep defensive gear current, and carry enough healing supplies for an unexpected second encounter.

Use this checklist when aiming for a clean Chapter 2 file. It covers the complete quest categories without assuming that every request must be completed in one uninterrupted sequence.

The most important distinction is between accepting a request and finishing it. A quest may remain incomplete after its main objective if the party has not returned to the correct NPC or guild desk. Use the journal as the final authority for completion status.
